“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In a recent deleted session, Seth told us that Jane’s symptoms deepened after she held a session for a friend of Venice McCullough’s a few years ago. The friend committed suicide, and Jane regarded the session as a failure. My question simply wanted to explore the relationship between the onset of symptoms before the psychic work, and the fact that a psychic “failure” had the ability to deepen them. While I could make intuitive guesses as to connections here, I preferred to hear what Seth had to say.

(In our talk before the session, I had the feeling that Jane kept sliding away from the direct consideration of the question. She often went into detail concerning the suspected session, without saying anything about the fact that a psychic experience could make worse symptoms that had begun before the psychic work, per se, had become conscious knowledge to us.

On one occasion he did almost come very close to the feeling of freedom necessary, but all the suggestions need to be followed, not simply the ones he happens to remember at any given time.

Now. Thoughts have their own energy. Your thoughts and everyone else’s. Your own greater awareness now, with Ruburt, to him represents the first real break in your armor. It will also serve to release feelings of joy that you have inhibited. These feelings are released not only in paintings that you are working on, say, now, but on paintings that were completed earlier. Your emotional reality permeates everything with which you come in contact—across the board, regardless of the time element.

(This is excellent material, well worth remembering. I want to keep it in mind especially re paintings and sales, of course. It’s still working as I type this, on a class night; one of Jane’s students bought another portrait. This one I’d finished but a couple of months ago. I didn’t expect this sale. Even as I write this paragraph, another student asked the price on a still life I painted a couple of years ago....)

They suspect that you might end up financially well off while taking a route that to them is completely illogical. If you can get possessions while not having a worthwhile job, then they must work that much harder for more possessions, to prove their way correct, and yours lacking. This is not a malicious intent. They must have more to show for all their work, you see.
